"Welcome to the Real World" is the first studio album recorded by the rock band, Sick Puppies. The album was released only in Australlia on September 3, 2001. This rare album - less than 1200 were pressed and it was only sold in Australia - was initially supposed to feature a humorous cover version of Destiny's Child's hit single "Say My Name"; however the song was not included due to the threat of a lawsuit by Destiny's Child's record label. It was leaked, however, and is readily available on Internet and P2P networks. The band always play this song live. Currently the band plays only three songs from this album at live shows, "Nothing Really Matters", "Every Day" and "Something Different".

Singles released from the album were "Nothing Really Matters" and "Every Day".
